okay... from what i gather... i am getting shocked because my car can't ground completely because of its tires... and my empeg is probably adding to that problem by putting more electrons in the frame. thats why i only get shocked when my foot is touching the earth, because i'm completing the circuit.

for some reason, this is reminding me of a transformers episode where someone had a lightning gun which was kicking their ass in autobot form, and the only way to defeat him was to transform to car, and let another stand on top of you.

stupid nostalgia. thanks guys.
